Macklemore and Ryan Lewis announce Dublin show

After playing a scorching sold out set in The Academy last year, chart-topping hip hop pair Macklemore & Ryan Lewis won't keep their Irish fans waiting long when they make their Dublin return at The O2 on September 15th next.

The duo skyrocketed to fame with the release of their mega smash hit Thrift Shop, an ode to second hand shopping. The single topped The Billboard Top 100 chart giving the group their first No.1 hit, with a wildly popular music video.

Speaking to Rolling Stone Magazine Macklemore recently commented: "We've been able to make music that resonates with people on a personal level, as well as having a work ethic - Ryan and I work 70-80 hours a week and we don't stop," he adds. "That, and the fact that we have fans that believe in our dedication and the art we're making, that's the reason we're at where we're at."
